An English fugitive, Tom Styles, flees across the border to Scotland and hides. Gavin, riding by, is attacked by outlaws and Styles saves his life; in return, Gavin shelters him at Slitrig.

Dramatised by Robert Muller

Commandant Decker is a veteran of some thirty-six faultless space missions. They were faultless because the ultra-technology which man has evolved overcomes all eventualities, however 'unknown.' On his thirty-seventh mission, to Planet 0243/B, Decker is tired - tired of his life, tired of what man has become - tired to the point of rebellion. And it is not until this new planet subtly defeats the hitherto infallible machines that Decker defines both the cause and cure for his dissatisfaction

This week and every week television in this country brings us the stories and issues that concern us-the argument, the evidence, the examination. We listen and we watch-sometimes we switch off or over-and then we make up our minds. But nearly all the coverage is seen through our eyes. Elsewhere in Europe the same process goes on-but there the view may be quite different.
